I've thought the same thing myself, but I don't have any test cases for that and haven't experienced the problem directly. As I recall, the rsync case manifests as a hang which seems a bit different than this case of unexpected EOFs. It's possible that it could be rsync's reaction to the unexpected EOF could mask it as a hang, I suppose. -Jeremy -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
